Halle Berry Is Still A Victim Of Racism
Halle Berry is finding it hard to move past the colour of her skin despite her Oscar, success and millions in the bank.

Berry feels that she is still a victim of racism in America, she said to Handbag.com: "Every day I wake up with this brown skin.
"I don't care how much money I have, I don't care how many movies I do, how many awards I have on my shelf, every day I am still aware that I am a woman of colour in this country and there is still certain discrimination that goes along with that, and that does not change.

"No amount of money and awards changes that. What changes discrimination is the consciousness of people. I do see that changing gradually, but are we there?

"I do not think that we live in a colour-blind society, where racism is null and void - that is pretty absurd.

"But I believe that it is possible that things are moving in that direction, and I believe that one day, colour and race won't matter.

"I hope I am here to see it, but it hasn't happened yet."

Berry is currently at the Cannes Film Festival to promote her latest film �X Men: The Last Stand.�
